Pretty much missed another full week of training due to germs! So I cheered myself up at the weekend and went shopping for the all important walking boots. I took my mate Chris along with me as he knows all about this kind of thing and let’s face it –if it was down to me I would pick by my favourite colour.
I was expecting to walk in one shop, try a few on and that would be it – I could go shopping for more fun things. But with Chris keeping an eye that was never going to happen – we went to EVERY outdoor shop in Covent Garden. I was amused by the fact that by the end of the afternoon I had blisters on my hands. Yes that’s not a typo I really mean my hands – from tightening laces up so many times.
Whilst we were out and about I started checking out other kit to buy. Bit scared how pricey it’s all going to be! My rucksack is the next purchase so I tried a few for size. Amused me slightly when I picked up a boys one and wondered why the chest strap wouldn’t even go round me! The ladies versions are made for ladies for a reason and soooo much more comfortable.
So after 4 hours of trying on boots, walking up and down ramps in the shops, deliberating over the different advice from every sales person - I finally made up my mind. They aren’t pretty like most of my shoes but fingers crossed they will do the job and get me up that mountain!
